Yo Yo performs Don Quixote with Philadelphia Orchestra part 3 / 6

[bass4871]

Roberto Diaz is not a great violist, he has a very tight and aggressive sound, plus a little dirty, its tuning is not perfect. You can not compare even with Cynthia Phelps of New York PH., she did is an example of great soloist and principal.

And on the right, next to Yo Yo is Paul Roby, and later, Yumi Scott...had the pleasure of playing next to each. A humbling learning experience!

OMG, I adore Roberto Diaz....it is good to see him play again...even if this video is 7 years old.....

Great Viola solo in deed! Foolish, like it has to be

[JSweec]

Sancho certainly has a lot to say lol

Superb viola solo-looking for inspiration as I have an audition for principal viola coming up- this is the best playing I've seen on youtube- love it!

Roberto Diaz, Principal Violist---- Fantastic!!!

[lbrinin1701]

@landolfiviolin1 I have seldom heard that solo played with as much genuine passion and committment, he's a real virtuoso!

[landolfiviolin1]

@lbrinin1701 You are absolutly right!! He is exellent player and great principal!!!

[Elainelps0421]

@landolfiviolin1 Unfortunately, he left the position in 2006 to be head of The Curtis Institute. The viola section is still quite excellent, but there is only one Roberto Diaz!
